The White Sox did not play Monday. It is their 11th off-day of the season.
Seven of those 10 off-days were scheduled -- March 29, April 11, April 18, May 2, May 16, May 30 and June 3.
Three of those off-days occurred because of postponements -- April 3, April 16 and May 13.
Here are the results for the next game after each of those 10 off-days:
- March 30, 7-6 loss to Detroit
- April 4, 10-1 loss at Kansas City
- April 12, 11-1 loss to Cincinnati
- April 17, 4-2 loss to Kansas City
- April 19, 7-0 loss at Philadelphia
- May 3, 3-0 loss at St. Louis
- May 14, 6-3 loss to Washington
- May 17, 4-2 loss at N.Y. Yankees
- May 31, 12-5 loss at Milwaukee
- June 4, 7-6 loss at Cubs
Notice the pattern? Yes, it's 10 consecutive losses. The Sox are 0-10 the day after they've been given a day of rest. They've been outscored 71-26 in those games.
Keep that in mind next time Sox announcer John Schriffen tries to tell you the team will benefit from a day off to "recharge the batteries."
The Sox will try to break this strange skid Tuesday, when they open a three-game series against the Houston Astros at Guaranteed Rate Field.
